    How much would it cost to repair just the frame and what are my options?

    You’d be better off buying something new. I think the frame would be the cheap part

    It still runs and drives and I am aware of the price for replacement parts. I really just want to know what are my options for repairing the frame. I'm not opposed to pulling out the frame and doing a little hammering either.

    2nd derivative of apex of a parabola.

    Seriously,
    Call dealer and see what a new frame costs. That one looks un-straightenable. I think that one would require Jesus.

    You'd be better off replacing the entire frame and building it up from there. Don't forget to factor in salvage title resale problems, trying to obtain insurance with a salvage title issues, part shortages, paint labor, ect. If it were me I'd just buy a new truck.

    Look like he got it from the auction based on the windshield sticker on the driver side

    Oh look, another mod....
    Due to inflation and supply chain shortages, that frame will cost you $78,000; and take 3 - 6 months to arrive.

    Frame might not be that bad. It’s the body that is sitting on it that’s toast.

    Did you already buy this, or buy it back from the insurance company?

    Looks like it has an auction sticker on the windshield.

    3rd gens are everywhere, you would be better off finding one that don't look like this. Had this been a truck that was rare that would be a different story.

    Edit

    This reminds me of the other day a few weeks ago. I was behind three different Tacomas that all looked fine except that the rear end would track a foot or two to the ride side when going down the road.

    Probably no more than twice the price of a new truck.

    Pass on that. That’s not even a hard pass, that’s an easy pass. You’ll have more money and time in it than it’s worth and it’ll never be the same as a new one or even a used one that hasn’t been wrecked.

    A good detailer might be able to buff that out. Although, there would probably still be some imperfections, if you looked too close.

    Your kidding about the frame… right? The frame is the least of the problems. Junk. It. Can’t part much out
